Abstract

Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) as a faith-based organization has frowned at its members, especially its employees to take an active part in politics, which itself is a science and an art of governance. However, the concept of Jesus Christ on politics as shown in Matthew 22:15-22 stands against this organization’s stance. This paper aims at reconsidering this concept in Matthew 22:15-22 and its implication on the organization. The paper reviews the general biblical concept of politics with a brief exegetical analysis of Matthew 22:15-22. A brief history of the organization is given and some indications from the organization’s constitution in relation to members of the organization’s participation in politics are enumerated. The paper concludes with the implication of the concept of Jesus Christ on politics for the organization and recommends, among others, that the organization should encourage its members and employees to be actively involved in partisan politics through the amendment of the organization’s constitution.
